[Farmall] cleaning the f-20

[John Paur]

One thing that I find works really well is oven cleaner.  Spray it on
liberally and let it sit for several hours, then wash it off with a pressure
hose. Sometimes takes a second or even third application for heavy, dried on
dirt & grease.  It will screw up any good paint but that's usually not an
issue on those old, greasy tractors.   John

I've finally gotten my F-20 running with a lot of help from the list and the
binder bulletin and now I want to get to the rest of the tractor.  The
tractor is an older restoration and isn't in too bad a shape but is plenty
dirty.  In the old days I had access to a steam cleaner, but since I moved
to the country here in northern WA that option is no longer available.  I
have plenty of solvent, paint thinner, and simple green along with sponges,
wire brushes and rags.  Is this the best stuff to use to clean all those
greasy surfaces or do any of you farmall guys have a better idea?
